- Spread the word! Many people are not aware of where their food comes from. Migrant workers around the world travel to the harvest and provide most of the fresh foods for countries around the world, but these same migrant workers are disadvantaged, living a 3rd world lifestyle in a 1st world country. This is just a glimpse into their mostly unacknowledged lives.
I'm proud of this... $100 camera (the hardy Playsport!) and a netbook!
I take off my hat for this people that put our food in our tables.. And I say to them thank you.. Gracias!!!
Thanks for your kind words, Kathy. With caring people like you, I hope that more migrant workers will have a chance to live well. Thanks again.
Great to see, these young men and women performing as real citizen's. Keep up the great work..
So happy that students of other ethnicities came together to make a video about a marginalized group of people. Usually, it's Latinos speaking for themselves, but this shows unity from others.
Awesome.
We all should unit as one, no matter what race you are. And stop all these B's from the government.
Thank you for helping raise awareness of this. It's striking and so disheartening to see how little has changed since the 1960 Edward Murrow documentary about migrant workers, "Harvest of Shame."
I feel like this movie should have over a hundred million views
brings back childhood memories, i was a migrant child up to the age of 13. on these camps everybody considered eachother family, we were all for one and one for all. I remember a camp in the woods. It was a long building like a horse stall. This building was divided into small 10'x10' rooms, one family per room. We were able to fit two mattress on milk crates a 2 burner portable stove and the fridge had to sit outside at the front door because it didnt fit in the room.
Thank you Cesar e Chaves.
LOGAN YOU DID A GOOD JOB WITH THIS VIDEO. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR JOB. I AM AN AMERICAN BUT MY MOTHER IS A CREW LEADER SO I WORKED OUT IN THE FIELDS WHEN I WAS YOUNG SO I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE A MIGRANT WORKER. AND I WORK FOR A PRODUCE COMPANY THAT HIRES AND USES MIGRANT WORKERS SO I HELP THEM IN ANY NEEDS THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK AND BE ABLE TO HAVE A GOOD JOB.
Hi Logan - I'd like to show this clip in my Harvest to Health class. I will be sure to give you credit. Thanks for creating and posting this!
People just don't know how truthful this story is!
This is modern day slavery.
what is going to happen now? I see food prices rising tenfold due to trump and his coming legislations.
This is an easy solution to get businesses / farmers all the workers they need:
1) Businesses in need of migrant labor apply with e-verify.
2) Businesses prove that U.S. citizens were given an opportunity to apply for vacancies.
3) Businesses submit to Homeland Security (DHS) a list indicating type, number, and salary of available jobs.
4) DHS encourage migrants to apply for guest worker visas. Number of visas issued will equal the number of jobs available. DHS also matches the workers with the jobs according to skills.
5) Have guest workers check in with DHS every 6 months to ensure they are working. If they leave a job, they need to inform DHS so they can get reassigned. They will forfeit their visa and be subject to
deportation if after 30 days they fail to inform DHS and therefore not legally working.
6) DHS regularly checks these businesses with e-verify and site visits to ensure that all their workers have proper and up-to-date documentation. Fine these companies if not in compliance.
7) DHS helps worker without a valid guest worker visa to obtain one (the business obviously needed them or they wouldn’t have been hired).
No company or farmer would be in need of workers when DHS channels eligible workers to them. They wouldn’t hire undocumented migrants if they know they would get fined. No worker would try to enter illegally if the application process for a visa was easy and was assured of a job once she / he obtained a visa. Border patrol can now focus on the criminals who might want to enter illegally. No wall will stop
them. They have tunnels, trucks, planes, and submarines. Using this solution, hard-working migrant workers and their families win. The farmers and other businesses win. Border patrol win (less work to do). DHS wins. They will be able to keep track of the vast majority of migrant workers. Last but not least, American taxpayers win because there’s no need to build an expensive and useless wall.
I have total respect for these people hard backvreakin work overworked underpaid I feel offended when commercials show the farms with blacks out in the fields.they show the owners but not the real workers most of them of Hispanic descent.
Good bless .
Great job Logan!!!
I have a community service farm. we grow food using hydroponics. all of the members pick the food. we do not use Illegals.
we provide 80% of our members food needs plus we sell food and donate food to the local food pantries
I have 35 acres that we use. we grow over 3 millions pounds of food year round.
community service farms is what needed. let people get back to the farm lif
Thanks for letting me know. Please feel free to show as many people as are willing to see it! Thanks for giving credit, too ;)
I have family that worked in the field, hard working people and getting paid peanuts, its a physical job where you have the sun beeming down on you. To do it again and again. Weather on a tree or on ground its a labor job. My hats off to them.
Thank you for presenting this. Didn't really care for the music, though; I don't think it created the right ambiance.
Where are these camps located? I live in a rural area with a significant migrant population and while there are areas with groups of houses colloquially known as "migrant camps" the houses, while humble, are quite normal-looking (no communal bathrooms in sight).
we need a real good union for farmers workers I work in calexico ca in the fields they pay us only 8.00 per hour for picking melons we work in a very bad weather the temperature is around 107 to 120 we do not have insurance not even they pay us the holy days we really need help
I have neighbors that are Americans and they have no power because they don’t work! And its not because they can’t find jobs! It’s because they don’t want to work! They get government checks and food stamps. So why would they go to find a job.! And then they blame the illegal people that they take their jobs! Really!! I wish they people could get in an illegal people shoes and see what they go through. Its not ok. For them to be working illegaly! But what would you do if you were on their place and have kids.
good job logan ...
Please do! Thanks for checking with me and just make a note giving credit so other people can check out the video!
Before there was Mexican and other people harvesting fruits and vegetable in America there was people from the Caribbean mostly from Jamaica my father was one of those migrant workers who come to the United States working some in Florida some work in New Jersey I remember a man from my neighborhood in Jamaica when I was a kid he always talked about Seabrooks and New Jersey never know where that was until I got here in New Jersey and I myself work in Seabrooks New Jersey in a factory where they pack vegetables please call Seabrook brothers and son has been around for a long time
But they don't know that the general population know about the migrant camp situation and care enough about it to write to them.
the way this vid was outlined was great! starting by asking everyday people what migrant camps are. Shows how people take the farmworkers for granted. The followed with sobering stats and pictures. But the end was kind of naive. Our govt officials know about their situation but don't care!
All of us are immigrants to this country except for native americans, remember that. So when you acuse migrant workers of being "criminal trash" because they "steal" american jobs and earn usually 3 dollars an hour, you are forgetting who makes up this country we all live in. Where did all this ignorant hate come from? Do any of you actually know a migrant worker? They are not criminals, they are everyday people struggling to create a better life for their families.
Man we have failed... Deuteronomy 10:19
Fist,if they are illegal they need to be deported
The person hire them and the farm that they worked on needs to be charge. That will take a lot of the illegal issues out of it.
Secound, The people who are legal. pay at least min wage, they can provide safe, clean housing and still make a profit.
It is bad that Florida Law allows them to be paid less the min wage and long hours.
Best way to help, Do like this guy did. Put them on Video and get it out there
Hey Logan, do you mind if I download this for a DVD that someone in my parish can use as part of her presentations?
BUJU BANTON said it. Who feel it knows.
I wonder what the best way to improve their standard of living is?
Although the only reason such people would come to America is if (even those terrible) conditions are still better than those in Mexico. Maybe America should run Mexico and sort the problem at the source :P
In California migrant workers win from 35 k to 40k depending how fast they are I work in the fields so I know
Check out the guy's hand at 0:14!!!
Very sad that no one knows what is really happen to us they look that they have a normal life good for them
Hi there - I'm doing a research paper on this topic, can you please share some of your data and/or references, please? Thanks!
Look into the book ...Trampling Out the Vintage: Cesar Chavez and the two souls of the United Farm Workers, by Frank Bardacke. It's an incredibly written book on the history of migrant farm workers. It's a big read but you'll love every minute.
thats sad, we have them here in NZ theyre treated better
That's why I know people should give respect to the Mexican people because they are the one doing the hard work and they get no respect but yet still people want to tell them to go back to their country but I tell you what if all Mexican decide not to do that kind of work no more and go back to Mexico what will happen who will. do the work
JesusCristo es un trabajador agrícola como la gente humilde y buena.
@XNMR53
This video was about migrant workers not mexicans in general, so no the majority of migrants live in very rural settings or migrant camps like this video discusses. I believe your referring to latinos in general, and they are americans just like you with heritage from another country. American doesn't mean white...get that straight.
Who did this 4 HW
that is why people around the world are attracted to USA. the American people are nice and they know how to respect each other...god bless America.
good true fax
they chose too
Invisible America?? Not any more.!!!
Humble but hungry. Fuck da haterz
thats sad though
then you go and work in the fields instead of them do you dare to work hard like the people that put the plate in your table who is going to work for 8.00 dlls per hour you?? they don not have insurance not even vacationes not holy days do you dare to do that?
lol agree
I like chiggen and kfc
ALL I CAN SAY IS THE WORLD IS COMMING TO AN END SOON SATAN JOIN US
iiii
i wrote you a pn
Do you know what a fucking taxpayer is
The problem is the lack of technology to replace these workers with robots and machines
WorldRecordvideos Its because we cannot build machines that can dothis things.
